Publisher's Information
The passing of the one-room rural school brings bittersweet memories to many Ozark people who have attended one. Most ways must give way to newer, and, we hope, better ways of doing, as has the one-room school. In most sections of the country these schools have been gone for a generation, but the Ozark people have resisted losing their rural schools until forced to by law. The 1972-1973 school year saw a few still operating for the last time. Before these were closed forever, before this aspect of the Ozark culture was history, our staff visited two nearby schools. We think it appropriate that our first issue of BITTERSWEET begins with memories of one of the most influencial instruments in the development of the Ozarks--the one-room rural school.
